GM's thread about nothing (19 Viewers)

General Malaise said:
You are invited to a seminar on Tuesday, January 11, 2011, from 1 to 2 PM in 301B Spedding.Dr. Karl A. Gschneidner, Jr. will be presenting a talk on "The Rare Earth Crisis - the Supply/Demand Situation."Should I go?
I think you should attend anything that has the word 'crisis' in it.China: "We're cutting our Rare Earth exports"US: "Oh yeah? We're cutting our exports of corn"China" "Wait!"
I don't think you're taking this seriously enough.
Well, if one were to take it seriously {SERIOUS BUSINESS ALERT}, the one might want to look at the commodities China does NOT produce domestically - something like, oh, say.....uranium - and begin loading up, however possible. Because China won't get into a trade war without strategically stockpiling things it will need in the future. To that end, they have been gobbling up uranium at a pace they never have before. And while most of that can be attributed to the fact that their nuclear industry is blowing up (BOOOOOOOOOO), they are doing more than just buying for today and tomorrow. They are buying at a pace that signifies stockpiling for the long haul. Does that mean that exports of rare earths will be forever slashed? Dunno. It might. But it is a fact that China is now a net importer of corn, oil, wheat, cotton, soy beans....so if they do intend to restrict exports of REE, it could come back to bite them.
 
We rescued a male cat over Thanksgiving who is, according to future MIL a "convicted murderer", so we keep him in a back bedroom at night. During the day, when the other two cats are sleeping on the bed anyway, we close them up and let him out. He's a clingy attention whore. I was running on the treadmill yesterday morning and sure enough I saw him eyeing me... wanting attention. Should have turned on the camera at that time, but neglected to do so and therefore lost the footage of the cat trying to jump onto the treadmill to rub up on my legs.ACP> the cat shot off the treadmill in a frenzied heap on the floor. That should make you happy. He is fine, though, which likely will not make you happy.

I use one of these nasal rinse things daily, usually first thing in the morning. It's kind of gross but it feels great and if you have allergies, I highly recommend it. Usually, I give a squirt in each nostril, it comes out the other side and, aloha, I'm done. Blow my nose, and done. Well sometimes, the water gets lodged up in my brain or something and an hour or so later water will come dripping out. Pretty sic, I know. Today I forgot to do it in the morning and I didn't leave the house until 1 so I cleaned them out and off I went to a new client. I'm talking to one gal and turn my head to talk to another when water comes flowing out of my nose. <_< I'm pretty sure they think I'm a giant coke head. :lmao:

I used one of these things on our little one. :X but effective:

I had one of those NetiPot things (recommended by the lovely & talented FBGal simey) and it worked pretty well - except for the time I put too much salt in the water and blasted my nasal tissues worse than any crank binge I went on in the 70s.

:) I almost did that once so I shot the lock off my wallet and bought the premixed packets.The squeeze bottle is superior to the Netipot to. You don't have to do that awkward cocking of your head.

I had the GD premixed packets but I mixed it once, forgot I had done so at least 2 more friggin times (whilst between phone calls as I was working from home because I was sick :cry: ). And it was like slow motion when I poured/snorted that crap into my nostril - it started stinging, but it took my snot-addled brain another 3 seconds at least to realize what I'd done. Great God of Moses (with sandals), that mfer hurt.
 
Pick my movie of the evening:

1. Brooklyn's Finest (never seen)

2. 2nd half of Once Upon A Time In The West (on DVD; started watching the other night; haven't seen in 100 years)

3. Stand By Me (seen a bunch but not in the last 10 years or so)

4. Rocky III ( :thumbup: )

Worst ever. This is like the Beduin Liners of non-alias usernames.
A freight train of humiliation coming your way for an alias like that.
:confused: Never gets old.The funniest part that most people don't know, is that bagger worked on the idea for this "alias to end all aliases" for like 6 months before he registered it and started using it.
in a way, he put an end to aliases.

Met up with a bunch of friends for drinks after work to celebrate the engagment of our friends who had been together for years. He proposed to her last night which was apparently 5 years to the day of their first date. There was about 10 of us there tonight for a few drinks as the newly engaged couple were driving out of state in a couple hours to share the sad happy news with the bride to be's family. (interesting that the bride wasn't drinking she said because she was going to be the one driving tonight, the rest of us are assuming she's pregers and that's why they got engaged)

So after a couple rounds (not to mention I got there early and got a head start) one idiot in the group decides to buy a round of shots for everyone (ok, the idiot is actually me) So we're about to do the shot and then one of my GBs says that someone should make a toast and he nominates me to do it (mostly because he knows that I've been drinking more than anyone else and I'll probably say something inappropriate) So I reached deep down into my soul and came up with the following:

"As we go down life's lonesome's highway (dramatic pause as I sigh)

It seems (slight dramatic pause) the hardest thing to do, (now looking directly at engaged couple)

Is to find (pause, fake like I'm choking up) a friend, or 2.

That helping hand (pause, close my eyes and bite my quivering lower lip)

Someone who understands.

When you feel (slight pause) you've lost your way,

You've got someone there to say: (very dramatic pause)

I'll show you. (now tapping my fist on my heart and pointing to the happy couple)

Here's to the happy couple, Cheers."

Yep, they thought I'd be inappropriate, but instead I quoted Lionel Richie's "Say You... Say Me" and performed it like a 5 time Oscar winner!!!! The bride-to-be had tears in her eyes as she hugged me and said how beautiful that was. A couple GB's commented on how "deep" that was. The groom-to-be hugged me and said "sorry dude, that must have tough for you, I know your divorce was rough". I am completely and utterly shuked that no one knew what I had just done. I kinda feel like I should get some credit for my performance, but they all think it was just a heart felt toast. WTF!!!

So everyone gets up to leave and I go to pay my tab to the bartender and he says to me: "Hey, nice toast Lionel. Maybe if the happy couple has a kid, you could qoute some versus from "I Believe The Children Are The Future" at the baptism" :bag: That ugly bartender with a creepy lazy eye made my night with that comment.

Between his sister outing, the stain/shadow incident, and the failure of CoF, bagger had a supernova run at the end of a solid career. Second ballot HoFer imo.

I watch zero t.v. outside of sports and toddler shows on PBS. Literally nothing - no news, docs, nuttin'.

Watching Detroit 1-8-7. It's OK but I doubt it comes back next year.

The last series I liked enough to follow was...NYPD Blue (and I hated that the last few years it was on). Last comedy I followed was Seinfeld.

So...watcha got? What is must see t.v. right now?
Hawaii Five-0
 
I'm a big fan of the guy, but MOP is kind of nuts.
"kind of"?
I'm not getting ivolved in that thread but could you kindly explain to me why Europe and Asia are separate continents. And why Greenland isn't one?TIA.
Europe being considered a continent is more about culture and politics than geography. It's actually pretty sketchy. But I can tell you that Greenland is a lot smaller than you think. Greenland = 836,330 sq mi Australia = 2,941,300 sq mi
